GENE REGULATING CELL DIVISION CYCLE IN PLANTS

摘要

A method of modifying the development of a plant comprising transforming a plant cell with a nucleic acid encoding a cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor to produce a transformed plant cell; and, regenerating the plant from the transformed plant cell under conditions wherein the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor is expressed during regeneration of the plant to modify the development of the plant, wherein the nucleic acid encoding the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor is a gene selected from the group consisting of ICK2, ICN2, ICN6, ICN7 and homologs thereof.
